Pass me my monocle, I'm a civ Fanatic!

[Admiral8Q]

I'm just curious, are you a long time Civ addict? Or is it still new to you? Where did it all begin?

 

[Kayak]

I started with CivII. I actually bought my first non-Mac PC so that I could play it. I think I've only tried to really improve my skill at the game after Civ3 came out.

 

[Tomoyo]

Long time. It started one day, when I was in the wiz... I had never heard of civilization, and I just found it on the shelf. We have never been apart since.

I started playing CivIII about 2 years ago. I found CFC about 9 months ago and became 200% fanatic since then (it sure doesn't feel like 9 months...)

 

[Admiral8Q]

Whew, got the poll working!

Well I'm a DOS based Civ 1 addict, it was probably the first strategy based game that I got addicted to, does anyone remember buying cities with diplomats? I've been addicted to Civ so long I should probably go to CAA meetings (Civilization Adicts Anonymous)

Cheers!

Civ 2 in 5th grade, friend introduced it to me. Now I'm in 10th grade and still addicted.

 

[Ginger_Ale]

Civ2 since 1st Grade (I remember waking up early on mornings to play civ before school ), and Civ3 since 4th and 5th Grade.

 

[Admiral8Q]

Heheh!

I was so addicted to Civ, I failed a grade in junior-high because of this evil game! I hear ya!

I actually got some friends addicted to it also,

A good number of years ago I was at the software store talking to one of the salesmen. I asked him what, in his opinion, was the best strategy game available and he told me about CivII. I've been a Civ player ever since.

 

[Randy]

I started with the Play Station version of Civ II.

Original Civ(dos) for me. Still have a couple of the disks floating around somewhere.

Can you email me that in a zip? I've so lost civ

It would be cool to have just like I still have a windows 95 install disk

If not no worries, civ3 PTW rocks

Sorry, no, that would be piracy and thusly against site rules.

 

[gunnerxtr]

i started back in Colonization, then i bought CIV2 a while after when i saw it in Best Buy thinking it was the sequel. I still play Colonization from time to time...... they should make a new one of that game.

The Amiga version of the original Civ. Your poll need an 'other' option.

Arrr maytey, I 'ear ya ther lad! No worries, if I did get it, I'd stash it away heheh!

I wonder if anyone started with th expanded civIII's or with that rip=off Call to power?

 

[Turner]

The Amiga version of the original Civ. Your poll need an 'other' option.

Good idea. I've added a Civ (Non PC) version. Also added Civ2 (Playstation) since it was out for that as well.

If you tell my your vote, I'll adjust the numbers accordingly.

 

[Strato]

Civ II mateys. Another option to possibly add is Test of Time if interested.

 

[zakjapannertje]

I played my first civ-game in 1997, CivNET, a later edition of Civilization, and I was completely addicted to that. It was included in the PC-buy with other games as Simcity and DukeNukem 3D, other games which I played often but not so much as CivNET. And I could not wait to buy Civilization II later, in 1998/9 or so I could get that, and with the extra options, well it was horrible to turn my PC off for that .

 

[user37852]

I didn't pay any attention until Civilization III.

I know someone who skipped school to play Civ II. Suffice to say, he now conducts illegal activities.
